Big thanks to My Thai for their $5,000 donation to Keaton’s House! 💛

Their first-ever kids meal, Keaton’s Meal, turned family dinners into moments of generosity, and we couldn’t be more grateful.

Thank you to Connie Smith, Cabinet member, for accepting this wonderful gift on our behalf.

Community like this is how Keaton’s House becomes possible. 🏡✨

At Kemp Care Network, our work is grounded in compassion, dignity, and respect, particularly during times of vulnerability, illness, and loss. Black History Month invites us to honour the histories, contributions, and lived experiences of Black individuals and communities, and to reflect on how these continue to shape health care and belonging today.

In hospice and palliative care, equity matters. It shows up in how we listen, how we build trust, how we recognize systemic barriers, and how we ensure that every person, resident, family member, staff member, and volunteer feels seen, respected, and supported.

This month and throughout the year, we remain committed to (un)learning, reflection, and action that strengthen inclusive, compassionate care for all.
